9. More C-Span Misinformation
I don't know who these "Hotline" reporters are, but they always seem to find the stories about how the Democrats are in trouble or imploding and the GOOP is assumed to be the majority party and all their campaign shenananigans are no big deal.

Amazing how little was said by this "reporter" about a real political story...the SD Congressional run-off and its impact this morning inside the beltway (isn't that what these people supposed to be reporting?).

It's interesting to trace a talking point all day via C-Span now. Either via the hosts or these "contributors", I've caught several blast fax points making it as a "news item" and later quoted by some wingnut hate radio goon, and since it's from C-Span (not the individual or the organization they work for) it's assumed its credible.

I sure hope there's a journalist or political scientist who is monitoring the manipulation of the media today...McLuan would be stunned.
